§ 88. Viscount WOLMERasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Insurance Commissioners have now received an application from the Earlestown Industrial Co-operative Society, under Subsection (7) of Section 47 of the National Insurance Act, to enable them and their employés, to whom they have guaranteed six weeks full wages during sickness, to avail themselves of the reduced contributions provided for under the Act; and whether he can see his way to grant the application since it is demanded by both parties?
§ Mr. MASTERMANAn application was received from this society under Sub-section (7) of Section 47 of the National Insurance Act on the 17th instant. The Commissioners communicated with the society on the 18th instant to ascertain the views of the employés as required by the Sub-section, and when the replies have been received they will at once consider the propriety of issuing a special order.
